about

Ha megunom aranyos életemet (“If I grow tired of my good life someday”)— Dunántúl (Transdanubia)
Szereti a tik a meggyet (“A hen does love sour cherries”)
Nem ettem én ma egyebet, Kata (“The whole day I had nothing to eat, Kathy”)
Látom rózsám néked mindegy (“I see, my rose, you’re unbiased”)

Nikolett Pankovits Feat. Boglárka Raksányi

lyrics

Ha megunom aranyos életemet,
Fölszántatom virágos kis kertemet,
Belevetem magamat egy rózsának,
Kinek tetszem szakajtson le magának.

Szereti a tik meggyet,
Ketten szeretünk mi egyet,
Jaj Istenem milyen furcsa,
Mikor ketten megyünk oda.

Gyere babám a kert mellé,
Nézzünk egymás szeme közé,
Hadd nézzem ki két szemedből,
Szeretsz e tiszta szívedből.

Nem ettem én ma egyebet, Kata,
Babám adott egy szem meggyet,Kata.
Azt is csak úgy levelestűl,
Megélek szerető nélkül, Kata.

Látom rózsám néked mindegy,
Aki tejelőtted elmegy,
Legyen szőke legyen barna,
Megáll a te szemed rajta.

A koppányi nádas árok,
Nem terem egyebet: nádat,
Nádat, nádat, levendulát,
Szép leánynak áll a világ.
_________________________________________

Should I grow tired of my good life someday,
Then will I have my flowerbeds turned over,
And plant myself in the soil, like a rose tree,
If you like what you see, pluck me.

A hen does love sour cherries,
We two, we love the same one,
Whoa, my Lord, how very strange ‘tis,
Whenever we both go there.

Come, my dear, close by the garden,
To gaze into each other’s eyes,
Let me read in yours, whether,
You do love me with all your heart.

The whole day I had nothing to eat, Kathy,
But one sour cherry from my sweetheart,
It was given to me leaves and all,
I‘ll make do without a sweetheart, Kathy.

I see, my rose, you’re unbiased,
When it comes to passers-by,
Whether they are blond or dark-haired,
You eyeball them one and all.

Koppany’s reedy ditch does breed,
Nothing else besides: reeds, reeds,
Reeds and lavender; pretty girls,
The world greets with open arms.
